Next, I have a big announcement regarding future updates to Echoes, as well as the upcoming sequel to The Prophecy of the Six: Knightfall. I am putting Echoes on temporary hold until I've come closer to completing the second installment in The Prophecy of the Six series and preparing it for publication. This does NOT mean that Echoes is ended! In other words: I will update with one more Echoes chapter (Chapter V) before the story goes on temporary hiatus, so that I can focus on the second installment in The Prophecy of the Six! Echoes will resume in the future and return to regularly-scheduled updates (as originally planned).

Supporters on my Patreon (thanks to all of you, yet again!) can read a lot more about Echoes, its future (or at least hints of what's in store!), and a lot of behind-the-scenes looks at the story, characters, development, and more in my latest writing journal, which I posted a little while back (it also included sneak peeks of these updates). Check that out here, if you haven't already!

If you follow me on assorted social media and/or are one of the amazing generous people who support me on Patreon (every little bit helps!) and/or watch me on DeviantArt (whew, lots of things), you've probably already seen all the various artwork I'm about to show you, but here it is again anyway. I've updated the artwork sections of the site with some new pieces, including some fan-art, Wulfgard art, and a Patreon supporter reward sketch. Check out a few of those here, and be sure to visit my site's art galleries for more:

That's all for this time. Hope you enjoy the new chapter in Echoes of the Mage-Emperor!]]>Sat, 19 Aug 2017 23:34:29 +0000Big update! Art galleries revamped and updated, Patreon newsespecially here, and here is also good), and be sure to watch me on DA for immediate art updates.

You can also check my Patreon for immediate updates, if you get impatient waiting for site posts. I post a lot more frequently on my Patreon than I do here, although I’m hoping to even out my posts everywhere and post more often in general.

Expect to see a lot more updates soon, both on my site/publicly and on my Patreon, and be sure to keep an eye out for updates on my next book, The Death of the Benevolent Werewolf: Lycanthropy's Lost History and Modern Devolution.

Sorry for the radio silence and delays lately; something personal has come up, and it takes priority over anything else in my life until it's resolved (which, I hope, will be soon!). Thanks for your patience, everyone.]]>Sun, 09 Jul 2017 16:49:00 +0000I'm now on Patreon! If you haven't heard of it, Patreon is a site where supporters can contribute to my work every month and get cool rewards in return. I promise you'll see lots of great stuff, and I'm going to update frequently. Click the image below to head to my Patreon page:

Any and all support is appreciated, and I'd love to have you in my wolf pack to give me feedback on my upcoming work, both writing and art!

I am, of course, going to continue posting here on my site as well, and I hope to resume updating more frequently. You may have noticed pages of the site changing silently - I'm still working hard on that.For more info on everything I've been up to as of late, check out my Patreon launch post.

Until next time!]]>Mon, 26 Jun 2017 20:29:58 +0000
I won’t say “I have a Master’s degree” because not everything has gone through, but when it does, hopefully everything will go smoothly and I can soon say that for sure. My final semester of graduate school is now completed!

This means I need to get started on the many promises I made myself (and all of you) over my graduate career: I have a lot of updates in the works. For one, I plan to redesign my site. I’ve already taken a few pages down to revamp them (mostly in the Drawings section), and very soon I’m going to get to work completely remaking almost every page, especially the homepage. I also have lots of writing and art projects, and I’m hoping to start a Patreon soon, as well.

So thanks for bearing with me over my dry spells in graduate school. I hope you’ll keep an eye out for my upcoming projects – I’ll keep you updated every step of the way, and I’ve got a lot of announcements coming up.

See you very soon!]]>Sun, 07 May 2017 17:57:29 +0000A look ahead...here.

Hey, everybody! I’m still around. Unfortunately, I’m just swamped in lots of work at the moment. As the semester draws to a close, I’m getting lots of thing sprung on me at the last minute while I also work on finishing up whatever else is left.

I now have a defense date set for my thesis (which I’m still occasionally tweaking, but it’s essentially done now, as well)! I’m looking forward to talking to my committee, in person, about my work. I'm a little nervous, I admit.

So, sometime in May or perhaps a little later (it might end up being more around June, but we’ll see), I plan to publish my edited thesis in its entirety. I can assure you it’s vastly expanded and improved over the rough draft I currently have posted on the site, so be sure to keep an eye out for further updates – especially if you’re interested in werewolves!

Otherwise, I just wanted to toss up an update to let people know I’m still around. When this semester concludes, I will graduate with my Master’s degree in English. It’s been a long road, but I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved, especially where my thesis comes in.

Now that I’ll be taking a year off before I possibly go on to get my PhD, however, I’m going to spend all that time focusing wholly on my creative efforts. I have lots of plans for both art and writing, which I’ll share with you after my graduation. I have many projects, some of which I’ve already announced, and many of which I haven’t, that I plan to finish and publish with all the free time I’ll have. I’m also going to redouble my efforts to improve my artwork, so that hopefully the art that I post will be more worthwhile. As for writing, I have a few surprises in the mix there, too.

A very deep thanks to everyone who’s supported me through graduate school. I appreciate your continued support, and I hope to have many updates for you in the future.

Until next time!]]>Fri, 14 Apr 2017 19:58:13 +0000Lots of News: Wulfgard (free ebook this week, map, wiki updates), Echoes revisions, thesis Chapter 5, and moreSorry for the lack of updates lately; this is a very busy time of year for me. However, I'm working on lots of different projects right now, so here's some news about each one:

General Wulfgard News - Firstly, Wulfgard has gotten a few nice updates over the past several days. You can find more news about those updates here, on the Wulfgard/NR/SSL forums. Be sure to check out the fact that the ebook Tales of Wulfgard: Volume Iis FREE this week on Smashwords for their Read an Ebook Week promotion! You'll also find a brand new, full-color, high-detail map of Wulfgard, and some wiki updates.

Echoes of the Mage-Emperor - Last, but certainly not least, I must announce at this point that Echoes is undergoing some relatively major revisions. I had a great deal written even beyond Chapter 3, but I've become unsatisfied with some of it, and I'm going to be heavily revising it in the weeks to come. This may take some time, especially with my busy schedule. I'll be revising all the new and unreleased material, and I may also go back and make some changes to some of the chapters currently available on the site. More updates on this in the future.]]>Thu, 09 Mar 2017 17:15:39 +0000The Werewolf: Past and Future, Chapter IV - The Moon Waxes: The Werewolf Popularity SurgeThe Werewolf: Past and Future. I could expand every single chapter considerably from what they already are, but I'm already well over my requirements, and I'm actually taking too long to write each one! You can definitely expect an expanded version of this thesis later, though, when I'm not working in such a tight time-frame... and possibly when I'm submitting it to another university to get my PhD.

I've now added Chapter IV of my thesis to the site, which you can find here:

This chapter definitely could be far longer than it is, but in trying to keep things focused primarily on modern works of fiction that have defined modern-day conceptions of werewolves, re-popularized werewolves, or portrayed werewolves in a benevolent instead of malevolent light, I've left quite a few things out and tried to keep it trimmed only to the most important works.

I've also gone back and edited the pages for each of the chapters in The Werewolf: Past and Future and improved the formatting.

I haven't really had time to focus on getting any other updates posted, unfortunately. I have some more Echoes chapters written, however, and I plan to post the latest one soon.

That said, I may be rearranging my schedule in the near future to focus less on site updates and more on writing the second installment in The Prophecy of the Six series. Details coming soon.

Keep an eye out for future updates. Until next time!]]>Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:02:00 +0000The Werewolf: Past and Future, Chapter III - Werewolves Go Feral: The Transition into ModernityThe Werewolf: Past and Future, has now been posted. You can find it here:

This chapter ended up being much longer than anticipated! My next chapter probably will be, too. This chapter focuses on werewolves coming out of the Middle Ages and transitioning into the Early Modern (AKA Renaissance) period. It also touches upon how this point in history marks the beginning of our modern society's concept of werewolves, as we see them in popular culture today. That, however, will be the focus of the next chapter, which I've already started working on.

Not sure what else to say for this update! I, sadly, haven't had much time to write (my time is chewed up very thoroughly by graduate school). I'm going to start a new Nova Refuge roleplay soon, though, so check it out if you're interested.

Not much more to report lately, really - my final semester of graduate school is, of course, keeping me incredibly busy. I'll try to keep updates consistent, particularly as I'm finally settling into a schedule. As my thesis is top priority right now, I can't promise many writing updates, but I might be revising older stories of mine to post, since I've found a few I'm actually rather fond of. Trouble is, most of them are incomplete, and a few I like the concepts of but the writing itself is quite old.
